Chapter 216 There is Another One
In the main office building, Director Xi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
Unlike Xu Yi, Chu Zuo had a beaming face and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood at the moment.
"Commander, Operations Team 4 is out arresting people. They've already brought back six, two Japanese spies and four traitors."
Secretary Qi returned to the office and stood behind the director and reported in a low voice. It was impossible for the director to be unaware of such a big commotion. Noticing that the director was concerned about the situation in the yard, Secretary Qi took the initiative to ask about it.
"Six more?"
The director turned around and Secretary Qi nodded gently, saying, "There should be more than that. It is said that they are still out arresting people. How about I call Chu Lingyun over and ask him to explain the situation."
"No need. We haven't got the confession yet. Once the case is over, He Nian will report back."
The director shook his head. Before Secretary Qi came back, he guessed that it must be Chu Lingyun who was arresting people again. The Military Intelligence Department had not been so lively for a long time. The last lively scene had only been a few days ago, and such a grand scene appeared again today.
Catching people in a lively manner without catching the wrong person is definitely Virgo’s favorite thing.
The director has already reported to the chairman about the six traitors found last time. The old man was very happy and asked them to keep up the good work and eliminate more Japanese spies and other parasites.
At that time, the director readily agreed and said that he would continue to bring good news to the chairman in the near future.
At that time, he was just speaking impromptu to please the old man, but he did not expect Chu Lingyun to be so capable. In less than half a month, he had captured so many people.
And today's commotion is bigger than last time.
"Yes." Secretary Qi smiled slightly and left the office.
This young man, Chu Lingyun, is far better than he imagined. It was a perfect decision to transfer him back to the headquarters. Only an environment like the headquarters could allow him to better display his strengths.
Although Chu Lingyun was the one who applied for the transfer under the New Year's greetings and the director personally ordered the transfer, it was he who initially proposed this suggestion.
He was a secretary and did not ask about specific matters, but it was he who suggested Chu Lingyun come to the headquarters. The better Chu Lingyun did, the more proud he would be.
Not only should you remember this favor when sending him New Year greetings, but Virgo will also think that he has the ability to judge people, and that is enough for him.
Chu Yuan and Niu Qiu were still arresting people, while Chu Lingyun had already arrived at the interrogation room and was interrogating them.
The first person to be captured was an intelligence officer who, like Kong Baiwan, was responsible for collecting intelligence on the three moles. Chu Lingyun did not interrogate him at all and just beat him for half an hour.
As for those traitors, they were scared and started crying as soon as they entered the interrogation room. Many of them were willing to confess without being tortured, and the few who were tortured could not hold on for long.
The one who persisted the longest was the deputy section chief of the Equipment Department of the Ministry of National Defense. He was very arrogant when he first came in. His military rank and position were not low, and he also threatened those who arrested him, saying that he would cause trouble for them.
In just ten minutes, he confessed everything and lost his previous arrogance.
Luan Zhengyang lost his balance as soon as he entered the interrogation room. After being whipped a few times, he told everything he was asked, including how he was framed by the Japanese and how he helped them.
Whatever he had done was explained clearly.
The last person to be arrested was the Carp Group's subversion specialist. Each of these mole groups has a full-time subversion specialist.
The Black Cat Team's leader was Fang Wanchao, while the Carp Team's leader was similar to Fang Wanchao, not in touch with intelligence but solely responsible for recruiting useful individuals. The difference was that he only moved once a year, unlike Fang Wanchao who moved every six months and even hired a mother to conceal his identity.
The Carp Group's subversion specialist's real name is Bancangdao. He has an unstable career and has changed several jobs in the past few years.
"Itakurajima, your superior, Carp, and the three agents of the Carp team have confessed. Tell us everything honestly."
Half an hour after the punishment, Chu Lingyun began to ask questions. Compared with the other three intelligence officers, he valued the confession of the subversion specialist more.
The subversion specialist is a very important member of the mole group, second only to the team leader in status. Itakurajima has the rank of captain, while the other three intelligence officers are only lieutenants.
"The carp betrayed me?"
Itakurajima raised his head with anger in his eyes. Several intelligence officers of the Carp Group almost all had the same expression after learning that their identities were exposed.
Chu Lingyun already knew the reason. Li Yu was usually very good at comforting people. He had promised them many times that even if something happened to him, he would never betray them even if he died, and he asked each of them to do the same.
As a result, when the carp got into trouble, he betrayed them without hesitation. You can imagine how angry everyone was.
"You know very well how many people know your identity."
Chu Lingyun nodded and said that Itakurajima was indeed the one who confessed to the crime by Kato Muliang, but Itakurajima didn't know that Kato Muliang had withstood the electric shock. If Chu Lingyun hadn't targeted his weakness, it would have been difficult to get a confession.
Naturally, these will not be told to Bancang Island.
"You're right. Unless there's a traitor in the upper echelons of the Special High Police, I'd only be exposed because of him."
Bankurajima said slowly that in fact, the moment Chu Lingyun called out his real name, he knew that it must be Kato Murasaki who betrayed him.
As a rebellion specialist, Itakurajima does not need to report his whereabouts to the team leader to protect his safety.
But Kato Kiryoshi is different from others. He has a stronger desire for control. He requires Itakurajima to report his work every three months and does not allow him to move too frequently.
If Kato Kirara didn't know where he was hiding, he might not have been caught so easily.
"Tell me, your superior has already confessed. There's no point in hiding it."
"Okay, I'll tell you."
Bancangdao was straightforward and confessed directly without Chu Lingyun torturing him any further.
He was the one who instigated seven of the eight moles to defect. He had done a very good job, especially the deputy section chief, who was his greatest achievement.
The higher-ups had promised that if he could recruit another important mole, he would be transferred back to the Special High Police and promoted to major.
He was only one step away from becoming a team leader like Carp, returning to the Special High School headquarters, or taking up a position in other branches. However, because of Carp, all this became a bubble.
His hatred for Carp was no less than that for the other three intelligence officers.
Bankurajima is very good at inciting the mole to rebel. He likes to target ordinary people around the mole and ask them to cooperate in getting the mole's handle.
This is what happened to Luan Zhengyang. After keeping an eye on Luan Zhengyang, he investigated Luan Zhengyang's past and learned that he had studied abroad in Japan. He immediately found a classmate who had a good relationship with him.
He came into direct contact with Luan Zhengyang, who became very wary of him.
But this old classmate was different. It was this old classmate who made Luan Zhengyang let down his guard, allowing him to defeat him in one fell swoop and become a chess piece in their hands.
The same thing happened when he was trying to subvert the deputy section chief of the Equipment Department. He investigated for more than a month and found out that the deputy section chief had a lover. He started with this lover, tempted the deputy section chief to provide not-so-important intelligence, and then brought him into the water.
This method allowed him to successfully recruit many members to defect, and he was just waiting to make meritorious contributions and be promoted.
Unfortunately, just when he was about to turn the last mole against him, the carp betrayed him. If the carp appeared in front of him at this time, he would definitely find a way to bite it to death.
After obtaining the confession from Itakurajima, all the confessions of the Carp Team were obtained.
This was the first time that Chu Lingyun captured an entire intelligence team of Japanese spies alive, which was of extraordinary significance.
The eight moles have already interrogated six. Confessions from moles are the easiest to obtain, so there is no need to worry that they will refuse to speak. If they were that stubborn, they would not serve the Japanese.
"Five Japanese spies, eight moles, Ling Yun, awesome."
After getting all the confessions, Chu Lingyun went to report to Henian. Looking at the thick confession records, Henian was so excited that he couldn't sit still.
"Chief, this is just Chu Yuan's harvest. Shen Hanwen is still watching a small group. Once he closes the net, there will be more harvest."
Chu Lingyun said with a smile, and Henian was stunned.
He had forgotten that Chu Lingyun was targeting not one Japanese spy group, but two.
One has brought such a great harvest, what if both are successful?
How many Japanese spies and traitors would that be?
Since the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department, there has never been such a high-profile operation. This time, not only his Operations Department, but also the Director of the Department can report to the higher-ups and show off his abilities.
Not to mention, another code book was seized this time.
Now that there are multiple code books, the telecommunications department's decryption team is making very rapid progress. They have figured out the patterns of the Japanese spy telegram codes and are starting to try to decipher them.
I believe it won’t be long before they can decipher the real Japanese spy telegrams.
"Lingyun, keep working hard. If you succeed this time, I'll personally go find the director and raise your rank to major no matter what."
Henian said seriously, and Chu Lingyun was stunned.
His rank as captain had just been promoted when he came to headquarters, and it was a special approval.
He hadn't thought about promotion in rank in such a short time, and besides, the promotion from captain to major was completely different from the promotion from lieutenant to captain.
The promotion of lieutenants is not so difficult, as the military is not very strict. Colonels are always strict, but it is extremely difficult for captains to be promoted to majors, which is a hurdle in itself.
If he can overcome this hurdle at this age, he will have a bright future.
Not to mention now, even if he can be promoted to colonel in a few years at such a young age, he will still be regarded as a leader in the army.
"Thank you, Chief. Ling Yun will definitely live up to your expectations."
Chu Lingyun stood up straight and agreed to it regardless of whether it would work or not.
Besides, Henian is not the kind of person who brags. If he dares to say so, he must be sure of it.
"Go ahead, and feel free to come to me if you have any difficulties."
Henian personally saw Chu Lingyun off, and after Chu Lingyun left, he immediately went back to review the confession.
It seems that it will take a lot of time to read so many confessions. Henian can only pick out the important ones to read so that he can report to the director later.
With such a big commotion today, Virgo must be waiting for him.
Shen Hanwen was outside, staring at Yang Guang.
He had heard about the excitement in the department today. Chu Yuan had already taken the lead, so he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Chu Yuan, the newcomer, did such a good job. If he messed up, even without the team leader's punishment, he would not have the face to continue to be the team leader.
There are many opportunities to make achievements by following the team leader, but at the same time the pressure is not small.
With Loach in front and Chu Yuan behind, Shen Hanwen's team three has now become the most backward one and is in particular need of this achievement.
Unfortunately, Yang Guang seemed to be concentrating on collecting junk, and the tracking over the past two days yielded no results.
This made him feel a little anxious, but every time he felt anxious, he would remember his team leader's advice to him: intelligence work cannot be done hastily, and there can be no carelessness. One must be patient, otherwise a good thing will turn into a bad thing.
Shen Hanwen remembered Chu Lingyun's words clearly. Even though Yang Guang didn't make any move, he controlled his temper and stared at him intently.
Yang Guang had received the intelligence for two days but had not taken any action to send a message.
There was no electricity in his home. Although the radio could use batteries, it was inconvenient to send messages without power. Moreover, Shen Hanwen had inquired about Yang Guang's whereabouts and had not charged or purchased batteries.
The batteries for radio stations were strictly controlled items at that time, and it was impossible to get them without special channels.
Since the other party didn't move, Shen Hanwen could only stay still and wait patiently.
At the Military Intelligence Department, He Nian strode into the director's office, straightened his clothes and hair at the door, and then knocked on the door.
After a while, he was brought to the director by Secretary Qi.
"Director, Chu Lingyun from Group 4 of the Operations Department used the remittance slips from the mole they captured last time to investigate the post office. However, the Japanese spies were cunning. They sent remittances to these moles in various locations and then set up a back-up at the post office to steal the remittance slips from these moles. Chu Lingyun's investigation of the remittance slips alerted the Japanese spies, and the undercover Japanese spy in the post office has already escaped."
He Nian reported quickly, and at this point, his tone suddenly increased. "However, Chu Lingyun didn't give up the investigation. He used Japanese spies to steal the mole's remittance slips and used them to manipulate the situation. He then retrieved remittance records from major cities for the past few months. He then compared them with the remittance slips and found several moles. He then used the surveillance of these moles to track down the Japanese spy who received the information and finally found his superior."
"Finally, five members of the Carp Group, including the team leader, were captured in one fell swoop. Eight traitors were also caught. These are their confessions."
When he said the last words, Henian was so proud that the entire team of Japanese spies was captured alive and all of them were successfully interrogated.
They even uncovered eight moles who were recruited by Japanese spies and provided them with intelligence. Such an achievement had never been achieved in the entire Military Intelligence Department.
The last time we captured the Wildcat Team, we had already gained a lot. Adding this time’s harvest, it can definitely be called huge.
"Well done, Henian. It's right to hand Chu Lingyun over to you. He's doing better here than in Wuhan."
Virgo's smile never faded, and in the end he even laughed out loud.
It was another Japanese spy group. After Chu Lingyun arrived in Nanjing, he killed three members of the entire Japanese spy group.
Such achievements made him feel much more confident in front of the Chairman during this period, and the Chairman even affirmed the recent work of their Military Intelligence Department.
"Thank you, Director. In addition, Chu Lingyun is also keeping an eye on two Japanese spies from another Japanese spy group, including the team leader."
"And one more?"
Chu Zuo was stunned. This time he was really shocked. It was not easy to destroy a complete intelligence team, but there was still one behind?
Thanks to Fat God for the 1500 Qidian coins, and to Dunhou Dunzi for the 500 Qidian coins. Today, the city was suddenly closed here, and I went out with great effort to buy supplies, which delayed my coding time. The 6 o'clock update will be brought forward. This is the first chapter, and there will be more to come.
